@rehan_shei i'm not a tech guy, but i can kind of understand what's being done here, very clever 🫡
English

Great. Have to drop ghostty as my terminal because of this. What am i supposed to do now? Go back to terminator like it's 2015? On a serious note, what that guy Guillermo did at the height of the Gaza genocide is still fresh in people's minds. How people dont see any problems in associating with him and his company, i have no idea.

Excited to share that I've joined Vercel's Board of Directors. Vercel is made up of builders and tastemakers that continually ship things that deeply impact how developers work: Next.js, AI SDK, v0, etc. I can't think of a more exciting place to be. Let's fucking ship. ▲
My relationship with Vercel goes back to the earliest days. HashiCorp was an early adopter of NextJS and Vercel (~10 years ago!) and it remains my default tech stack and deployment platform to this day. Ghostty's website is all on Vercel, too!
Beyond that, I've been continually impressed with the teams relentless focus on shipping meaningful software. And importantly, software that has incredible taste.
Now we are in the age of agentic software development. Vercel is building agentic infrastructure that I think every app and agent will need (I certainly need it!) and I can't think of a more exciting place to be.
Huge thanks to @rauchg , Jeanne, Marten, @cramforce, @tomocchino and the entire Vercel team for the warm welcome. Time to work.

Today i learned bears and dogs have a common ancestor? Discovered this in the Scientific American article "Why are bears friend-shaped?" 🙂

@badlogicgames So the way to get 3.1 pro to appear in your model list was to do /settings and enabling preview features. But i think they've changed the options. Checked my gemini cli and i dont see the preview features option anymore. @JackWoth98 from the gemini team might be able to help.

Adventures with Gemini: Part 2
So when you use Google's coding tools like Gemini CLI, you can specify which model you'd like to use. So you can say you want to use only Gemini 3.1 Pro & you'll be able to use it till you hit your token quota for the day.
What's happening now is that even after specifying Gemini 3.1 Pro, a lesser model Gemini 3.1 Flash responds sometimes (see img). Now this can happen when you choose the "Auto (Gemini 3)" option which lets any model from the Gemini 3 family to respond. But that wasn't even the case here, as I'd manually specified Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Meaning Google's ability to meet demand is so poor now that it's letting its coding tools ignore user settings now :(

Rant about Gemini and its usage limits. So i have a free Gemini Pro subscription for 1 and a half years courtesy my Jio postpaid plan. So I thought "Great, will be able to code with Gemini's best model everyday now!" Wrong.
Started working around 9:30 am today. Used their flagship model Gemini 3.1 Pro for barely 2 hours, when i got the msg that i've hit usage limits for the day. And the limits will reset when? 10:20 AM Indian time tomorrow, nearly 24 hours later!
Meaning at the rate at which i code, my Gemini Pro subscription gets me just 2 hours a day with their best model. F**k my life

if you're looking to become remote development friendly, please a) have mosh instead of ssh, b) make port forwarding easy (for viewing dev url in local browser + allow agent on remote machine access to local browser for debugging) & c) sthing tmux like for session persistence between logins to remote machine
English

soon cloud + mobile + ssh :)
Aryan Esfandiari@arian88
Started using @superset_sh today and it’s definitely one of the most underrated AI agent editors right now. It comes with batteries included. Multi-agents, GitHub worktrees and terminals. If they add mobile and remote SSH sessions, it could truly become an all-in-one workspace.

Have been using stitch from google a lot.
So if i'm making an app, i let the ai model do its thing and come up with whatever basic interface it feels like that does the job. (Sometimes i share a sketched wireframe but mostly i just go with what the model's made.)
Then i share a screenshot of that basic interface with stitch to generate 3 variants that look better. Then i take the one i like, generate 3 further variants of that and so on. I do maybe 2 more rounds of this, tweaking, iterating, till i get something i like. Then i share the final version with agents like amp to replicate.
I have the frontend-design skill from claude installed but to be honest, i've never really used it much.

Before this happens, you guys need to address how poorly Chrome handles multiple tabs in linux. Mine is admittedly an edge case, but i had ~800 tabs to open after an ubuntu reinstall. Chrome crashed every time on my 8GB dell latitude but firefox handled it smoothly on a ram-constrained machine. Stopped using chrome after this. Looked into this on gemini, seems chrome's tendency to assign a new process to every tab is to blame :(

Excited to share that @GoogleChrome will soon be coming to ARM64 Linux devices!
Thanks to @nvidia for the awesome product & engineering partnership to bring one of the fastest and safest browsers to some of the most powerful computers in the world! 🛠️🕸️🤝

@FlowbyGoogle Think the model may have taken the concept of the house with bird feet from Baba Yaga's hut. I know her from the Hellboy comics as this old Russian witch, but seems she's part of east european folklore in general.

Our first #FlowSessions Artist Spotlight of Cohort 2 is award-winning filmmaker and visual artist, Léo Cannone!
🎬 Their film, "Ocean View" tells the story of a woman fulfilling her lifelong dream of seeing the ocean with the help of her trusty wooden chalet.
💡 Flow Tip: When using Ingredients, don’t chase the cleanest, sharpest images. Instead, look for realistic imperfections and small aberrations you would normally get in real life with a traditional camera to add texture to your work.

@film_girl Ha ha, this is a really fun game, why is this not viral? Designers would love playing this :)

Hi. Please play this amazing JND color game my friend Keith made and see how good you/your displays are at differentiating between similar colors. keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/?…

@matthen2 And if you use multiple harnesses, it gets worse as you have to remember the set of slash commands that comes with the other ones. It's not going to happen, but i wish all of them would standardise on a core set of slash commands we can use across claude, codex, gemini, amp etc.
English

I’m going to need another instance of Claude open to help me remember all the new slash commands I should be using

We just added /btw to Claude Code! Use it to have side chain conversations while Claude is working.

One of my earliest memories of my dad was take your son-to-work-day. I was probably 4 or 5, sitting at a Macintosh at Control Data learning about memory leaks and pointer arithmetic.
He passed away last week. It's been hard to think about programming. This was his passion, and I got that from him. So this week: I program.
Just pushed a 5-10x reduction in peak RSS for the @AmpCode TUI.
Send me your Amp performance issues and I will fix them with the power of 1,000 grieving sons.

@chrisalbon there's also cmux cmux.dev & dmux dmux.ai. I've been keeping an eye on these tools too. For me, it's not so much about handling agents, but about finding an interface that lets me handle multiple coding CLIs (gemini, amp etc) on a 13'' screen :(
English

I have been experimenting with dedicated agent orchestrators, specifically @xsuperset_sh and @conductor_build.
Some thoughts.
